I bought a 24 SSRX about a year ago and the first thing I want to say is that I love it! The most comfortable boat I have ever owned by far. Having said that, there are two very annoying issues that I hope Bennington will address.
1. Bennington provided two LED docking lights that are great. However, the navigation lights that are mounted right next to the docking lights are horrible!. The nav lights were flickering on and off (mostly off) the day the boat was delivered to me brand new. The dealer came out and fixed them once (bulb contacts were corroded) but I have had to fix them multiple times since then. I finally bought 2 LED nav lights from amazon and tossed the original lights. The original lights are very odd in the way they were mounted. Each light has three screw attaching them to the deck. One screw is a long wood screw that goes through the deck from the top of the light and the other two attached the light from underneath. This means you have to remove the entire light assembly (docking lights) just to clean the bulb contacts or replace the bulb. Please...upgrade the navigation lights!
2. There are two flat, recessed areas on the console directly above the steering column that fill with water every time it rains. For several days after a rain water sits in these pockets. Odd that Bennington would not have provided a drain in these areas seeing that they both are next to cup holders that do have drains! Would be a great addition if Bennington would add the drains!
